We acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live, and recognise their continuing connection to land, water and community. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging who have maintained Country for millennia.

The Kamay Botany Bay National Park is a magnificent headland site that bounds the wide mouth of Botany Bay. The site is arguably the most significant site in Australia for the contact story in the context of a contemporary nation. With all the changes that have transformed this landscape – the ring of suburbia, the pixelated hillside of the cemetery, the airport and the container terminal with the constant flux of tankers – it is still possible to imagine this Country when Cook landed in 1770 and in the millennia before. The contact story, a moment in time, casts focus on big issues looking back and projecting forward, of culture – indigenous, colonial, multicultural – and place – geology, ecology, use and management. Design can neither heal the impact of 250 years of occupation, but it can provide a platform for dialogue and interpretation.
